Today’s episode focuses on acceptance…there are many things outside of our control that we cannot change. We need to acknowledge the situation, validate our feelings and give ourselves permission to accept that there’s so much outside of our control! (Thanks Dr. Becky for that reel!) Focus on what you can control! Make the best of that situation and take small steps in the right direction to see growth in your learners! Be content and confident that things will work out over time in ways you never thought possible!

Today’s episode is reflecting on the cycle of what to do, when things don’t go as you expect. Watch out for the self-doubt and possible blame to sneak in (and acknowledge it if it does!) Nonetheless, know that there are ways to seek help! To gain back that trust or self-confidence! So that you can lead with your heart to do what’s best for students.

Today’s episode asks you to think about incorporating scaffolds into your planning process! First, we want to make it easy, so that it’s done! We do this while thinking about what matters and what doesn’t when it comes to instructing English language learners! In this episode, we will be reflecting on chapter six of Honigsfeld and Dove’s text entitled Co-Planning and materials from the What Works Clearinghouse to make generalizations to know what matters and what doesn’t. The scaffolding should focus on how to do things, so that they will be able to complete similar tasks alone in the future...because really, the whole underlying principle of scaffolding being that it’s temporary!
Thanks for listening!
